Comets are a sign of impending DOOM!
In a few months we will be closer to Mars than
we have been for 75,000 years.

Mars is the planet of WAR!

2003 will rock and roll so lock and load

[Joe Hadenuf]

Actually the Roman god Mars was a god of agriculture before becoming associated with the Greek Ares. Those in favor of colonizing and terraforming Mars may prefer this symbolism.
